Astrological forecast for May 2023

Pluto begins its retrograde motion in the sign of Aquarius on May 1

Pluto will retrograde until October 11, 2023.

During the period of its forward movement, Pluto will come back to the sign of Capricorn, where it will stay until January 21, 2024.

In Aquarius, Pluto brings our attention to the spirit of freedom, independence, and the ability to catch brand-new ideas and implement them with a group of like-minded people.

Here, Pluto unites people into new organisations, parties, unions, or associations.

It gives us an opportunity to have a new look at our lives and become a conductor of higher ideas without losing our responsibility, stability, and self-discipline.

Pluto will stay in Aquarius until June 11, then it will be back in Capricorn. Such a reciprocating movement of Pluto will combine the rules of the two planets, Uranus and Saturn, and set up our ability to show responsibility and a structural approach and discipline when implementing brand-new projects.
